Midnight Workout

Thursday, August 22, 2013

I've been working out at midnight the last couple of weeks and I'm on an daily exercise streak. Today made day 12. My sleep time varies. I prefer to sleep in the mornings between 0600 and 3 pm. Wednesday, I got up at 0300 am and napped from 9 pm to 1130 pm, so basically today was an early morning workout for me. That works best. I had to delay my cardio as my DH was sleeping and I didn't want to be stomping around to my cardio DVD and wake him up. The delay only gave me an opportunity to try and talk myself out of continuing my workout. With the help of my husband and his encouragement when he got up at 3 am, i was able to push through and do 30 minutes of aerobic dance. Thanks DH!

That is great. I am a night shift nurse, so that would work for me! That is one reason that I joined Anytime fitness so that I could go anytime! I work 7P-7A so have been trying to work out before coming to work :)Christine

One time when I was training for a marathon with a group of friends - we were scheduling our 20 miler. Previously we'd done 18 miles and left out about 4a.m. My suggestion was we should start at 9 p.m. and we'd finish about 3 a.m. Then we could go home and go to bed. I was overruled - we started at 3:30 a.m. - I basically didn't sleep that night. No we're not the fastest - but we're the most DETERMINED.

I sleep poorly at night and have been thinking about changing my sleeping times. I like your blog because it has given me some ideas.
